Federal authorities said Thursday that at least 46 undocumented workers were arrested during a sweeping Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation at a freight facility in Avenel, New Jersey, on Wednesday.

In a DHS statement to Fox News Digital, law enforcement personnel carried out the inspection at a federally authorized Container Freight Station as part of an ongoing campaign to ensure compliance with immigration regulations.

At the warehouse, agents discovered 46 undocumented laborers — roughly 22 percent of the onsite workforce, officials said.

All 46 illegal aliens were escorted into federal custody, where they now await immigration proceedings, according to the DHS.
